Free Bible Studies for French Polynesia

French Polynesia is not named in the Bible. It is a spread of more than a hundred islands in the South Pacific, Tahiti among them, about as far from Jerusalem as a place can be. Yet Scripture speaks to the islands again and again. "Sing to Yahweh a new song, and his praise from the end of the earth, you who go down to the sea, and all that is therein, the islands and their inhabitants" (Isaiah 42:10). "Yahweh reigns! Let the earth rejoice! Let the multitude of islands be glad!" (Psalm 97:1). Jesus sent His disciples to be His witnesses "to the uttermost parts of the earth" (Acts 1:8), and the islands of the Pacific are part of that promise.

The ocean, reefs and mountains point to the One who made them. Yahweh is Creator of all things, and His presence is not tied to one place. He is near to anyone, on any island, who calls on Him.

How to pray for French Polynesia: Give thanks for the people of these islands. Ask Yahweh to give their leaders wisdom and integrity. Pray that families are drawn to His Son, Jesus (Yeshua), and come to know His love. Pray for believers and congregations across the islands to be strengthened, and for His praise to rise from the end of the earth.

Most often we don't know what to pray in a given situation, much less for something as large and complicated as a whole nation and all its people. Scripture says it plainly: "we don't know how to pray as we ought. But the Spirit himself makes intercession for us" (Romans 8:26). Praying in tongues lets the Holy Spirit perfectly pray Yahweh's will through us for French Polynesia and its peoples. Learn more in Prayer in the Spirit.
